Family Dinner

At some point during the evening, Mom called you down to eat dinner. You’d finished the homework roughly 30 minutes ago and we're going through some of the more boring aspects of setting up your phone but at least you now had a lock screen to at least provide some security.

You quickly pocketed the phone and headed downstairs to the dining room. Sarah had already set the table as that was her given chore on most weekdays so you sat down and waited for Mom to bring out the food. You had the task of washing the dishes afterward so you considered it fair between the 2 of you. Well, it was a lot easier before Lucy went off to college as she washed and you dried but now both tasks have been left to you.

Mom appeared from the kitchen and set all 3 plates down before sitting down in her own seat. As normal she held her hand out for you to take. Your sister did the same so you grabbed both outstretched hands at the same time, meaning the three of you were now all connected while your mother started saying grace.

While you didn't exactly agree with your Mom’s religious beliefs, saying grace had become more of a family tradition in your eyes so you never argued about it.

“Dear lord. Thank you for blessing the meal we are about to enjoy and thank you for never allowing our household to go… AHH!“Mom cried as she was interrupted from her prayer. All three of you felt an electric shock crawl up your arms, causing you to flinch backwards and stop holding hands.

“What the hell was that!” Sarah cried.

“Hey! Language young lady, I know that hurt but that's no excuse to start swearing at the dinner table” argued Mom, quieting down your sister.

After all of your combined outcries and an impromptu lecture, a small vibration was felt from your back jeans pocket, shortly followed by a loud chime-like sound effect. That was definitely loud enough for Mom to hear. Slowly raising your line of sight to view her reaction you noticed that both Sarah and Mom were too preoccupied checking/rubbing their hands to worry about whatever made the sound. Was that shock from the phone or did it just short circuit or something? You hadn’t even touched any metal, you’d barely even held hands for a few seconds when the shock… Wait, I swear that the KDK app mentioned something like this. Double-checking the app screen now would be no different than suicide with your Mom sitting next to you. You would have to wait until you got back to your room before taking a look.

Following this, your Mom finished her prayer(without the hand-holding) and you all set about eating your dinner. You had to admit, your Mom had always been a good cook. She acted like the perfect suburban housewife, stay-at-home Mom who cooked and cleaned while her husband went off to work or on ‘business trips’. Also making sure her family went to church every Sunday to keep up appearances with the local neighborhood.

Her conservative clothes made her look older than she was but the few times you had seen her wearing less, whether that be when she wore swimsuits on holidays or when you ‘accidentally’ walked in on her changing, she had kept herself in good shape. She kept her perfect hourglass figure with her legs and ass being shapely but not too big as well as her huge chest that you had fantasized about on more than one occasion.

All around she looked like the perfect motherly figure in your eyes. It's a shame she's such a taskmaster sometimes. You knew she was just trying to look out for your best interests but the nagging and lectures just became too much sometimes.

Sarah on the other hand seemed to take more after our father than Mom to be honest. Blonde hair next to Mom’s Brown. Short next to tall. You wouldn’t go as far as saying she had no breasts but you’d hurled the insult ‘flat as a board’ around before, much to her annoyance.

Not to say she's unattractive. Far from it actually. Her lithe figure is probably what got her accepted as a cheerleader and she's been well toned ever since. Perky would probably be the best word to describe both her attitude and her body(though never to her face).

You were close when you were younger but you just seemed to hang out less and drift a bit apart when you both started high school. She was always the more athletic type and with her hanging out with the cheerleader types, It probably wasn't best to be seen hanging out with your nerdy brother. Most conversations nowadays were just from either family dinners or her calling you a perv when you walked in on her in the shower(it was an accident the first time at least).

“How was school?” Mom asked. Trying to start up at least some conversation

“Good.” replied both you and Sarah, almost in unison.

“Oh come on, give me more than that. I know both of you have been pretty busy these last few weeks. Sarah, how's practice going?” Mom questioned with a hint of frustration in her voice.

“Ehh, it's been fine. We might be doing more sessions after classes on Thursdays as well as Fridays to get ready for the games in a couple weeks but it hasn't been fully decided yet.”

“Good, and Sweetie, how has college prep been going?” Mom said, turning the conversation to me.

“Could be worse. Most of my admission tests are done. I just need to finish off the next few weeks of homework off before all the exam revision starts”

“See, why couldn't you have both just said that instead of me having to pry it out of you” sighed Mom. “By the way, Lucy’s semester at college is winding down so she should be back Friday for summer break”
